Another excellent episode. Nothing like hateful, ignorant family to piss off the viewers. Fruits Basket and Ouran did this well, too. I don't have much else to say about this episode. This series is just too real!

I don't think any romance has hit so many notes for me....or melted my heart so many times!! I can quite comfortablely say this is the best romance I have watched, with the least irritation ever. Saying that, there's still the dreaded 'ending' to come...

Bad direction. Good use of symbolism. Issues raised. Issues unsolved. Sweet, but it's getting repetitive. Nice piano tracks.

Another wonderful episode. But Arima can't get rid of his scars just by being happy with Miyazawa... new transfer student next episode? I'm getting worried.

They absolutely did do it. Perhaps some of you watched the censored version were they cut a few scenes ( nothing too explicit, certainly) but it was quite clear they did. Whoa, and I remembered when they used to blush when holding hands!They're sure going fast!

So true!

I'm pretty sure the version I watched wasn't censored (same length as all the other episodes), and it didn't seem implied that they had sex... They were together in bed though.

It's rather a case of the TV broadcast version being released in America while the Japanese home-video release had extra material added. Sometimes this is an oversight on the part of either party, who might fail to realize there is a difference, or sometimes it's deliberate sabotage by the Japanese company who wants to ensure that the cheaper foreign release is inferior to prevent "reverse importation".

What?!!!! I feel this might end up like NGE (or, shoud I say, it starts to look like)
The second half was pretty intense to me and music made it even better (I really like combination of "cheerful" music with dramatic scenes).

They do it and that's perfectly noticiable even in the censored version.

The scene without censorhip only shows a belt in the floor, a hand in the bed and them face to face. It's like censoring 5-10 seconds in where anyway nothing is actually shown.

That was just so incredibly sweet. The word sex never crossed my mind, only making love. That's just how pure their feelings for each other were. I'm also pleasantly surprised by how well Arima's desires for Miyazawa were portrayed. It was completely organic and felt like the story of my life when I was his age. I'm impressed, it's hard to come by characters that become indistinguishable from real humans, especially on the topic of sexuality.

So loved this episode so much that I was curios to see where the manga ends up... Kinda got me twisted sorta like Bunny Drop... but YEAH the anime. This episode was great, never seen a highschool romance in anime handled this well, way ahead of its time. Up their with Nana for me. I'm gonna read the manga now.. but I'm scared :O.

It does have Yukino's seiyuu saying "I think I will go crazy" instead of the text. And a brief "ahh" in the next shot.

All in all, 15 modified shots showing basically nothing. Different times and criterion!

I don't know why people are asking if they do it or not since it's heavily implied that they did it, i myself didn't expect them to go that far so it's pretty refreshing for me seeing a couple in anime go this far. (Though im pretty sure there are shows out there that did the same but its my first time seeing it)

Two things.

1) Arima's mom is the worst

2) Sex in a high school romcom? Whoa that's a shocker! I think it tastefully done though.

2019 here!
Incredible as they went to the effort to censor what's by itself is acceptable by today's anime audience. I guess it's normal since this was ages ago. And imo the sex scene wasn't rushed, hell, by contrary it was the only logical next step even for a shoujo story.
Now technical stuff. I liked the reference to Gunbuster in the similar swimsuit worn by Tsubaki. The one red with the vertical stripe.
So far the quality isn't so bad and if you miss hideaki anno style, well, picture his urban images in your mind :D

This is Anno at full power!
The directing on this episode is nothing short of masterful, the feeling and emotion that comes out from every shot and scene after the beach part! I just love it.
Just amazing stuff
The symbolism is great as well, easy to pick up on but still effectual.
Easily the best episode of the show so far.

Well, it's not Anno anymore :D
But I agree that the episode was well-directed and overall great and emotional. I love how every time Yukino has bare shoulders, Arima thinks of something weird ^_^
I also loved that little nod to Gunbuster (Tsubaki's swimsuit), and the piano soundtrack is absolutely amazing and fitting for the scenes!

During the bus stop scene I was actually wondering if Arima had it all planned from the beginning. Pretty sleek anyway.
The way they are going about it, I'm worried Yukino getting pregnant is "the bad ending".
As much as I'm a fan of piano music, I didn't find it particularly fitting. It felt like they run out of time to source proper BGM and just needed anything to fill the gap.
Edit: the lack of urban sceneries is noticeable. RIP Anno

This episode is split between two topics: first we hear more about Arima’s family, then Arima and Yukino get physical.
Arima’s back story was ok, but not very unexpected. Being bullied by his relatives for the sins of his father surely explains why he is so driven to excel. His father standing up for him recalls the scene with his teachers several episodes earlier.
The second storyline felt more real to me. In short, both Arima and Yukino are age-appropriately horny, but they need to find the correct words to express that. In the end, I found the way they talked to each other rather detached; almost as if taking a third person view and explaining their own behavior. That fits, however, with their characters. They are clever enough and self-controlled enough to analyze themselves when unsure.
I was surprised that the episode contained an actual sex scene. And again surprised, positively, by how well it was edited. This is not a hentai, so I am glad that, while they presented enough cuts of the characters to depict their inexperience and joy, they used mostly allegorical scenes, not body shots. I’d have to say that this is probably one of my favorite romantic sex scenes overall and compares positively to a lot of stuff I have seen in Hollywood movies. Although I do not get meaning of the hat reference.
The ED and preview no longer use real life camera shots and voice actresses talking into the camera, which I am a bit sad about.

After Arima's questionable actions, I really liked this episode: his "parents" acted in a very noble way, and I liked the way their "adventure" was presented. Overall, a cute episode, even though I wish Arima didn't have to suffer those nightmares.
